[at-l] It is immoral.....loooong

Good posting and a good reason to remember there are always more than one 
or two sides to a story. The use of ED abusively toward creation of the 
Skyland Dr and Blue Ridge Parkway is well known, as similar events 
involving our trail. You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs, but 
we should be mindful of the losses and sacrifices of others. We should also 
be good citizens and expect and demand due process and fair treatment by 
the government. The Fox News article was compelling, but did not offer any 
information about what the government's actions actually were.

We can quote Jefferson, Adams, Thoreau, Lincoln and others out of context 
to fit out individual arguments. I hope we pay attention to the real world 
events as well as historical context before we condemn or endorse either 
citizens or government. I suspect there is more important information than 
Fox News or any one of us knows.
